Destroying My Own Novel

"Where did Lucifer go?" Hera asked as she entered the cabin. She wanted to talk more about what Mykel told her with the three of them.

"Here," Mykel pointed at his forehead. "I know you want to talk more about what I said, but I promised the others about the next plan we are going to do. So, let's have a talk after that," Mykel said as he emptied the wine.

Hera smiled and nodded her head with understanding.

Everyone gathered in the living room, and Gaia had to make a bigger table so everyone could sit. Lyneth also joined since she had nothing else to do, and she already got enough energy from the altar.

"Don't you think it's a perfect opportunity for Lucifer to get to know us? Since he's already a member of this small council," Gaia looked at Mykel as she stood right behind Lyneth.

Mykel activated [Devil's Apparition] and brought Lucifer back. Everyone was staring at him and waiting for what he would do. He then sat on the empty chair next to Hel and Keres while Ares, Thor, and Athena stood in front of him.

"Where should we start, Mykel?" Loki asked as he rubbed Spenta's chin.

"Before we go and decide to change the game, we still have four enemies that we need to take care of. Zeus, Poseidon, Hades, and Nyx. These four are going to be a problem if they decided to join hands with her. They're the last thorn that we need to remove," Mykel said as he looked at those four [Character] stories.

"Persephone has confirmed that Hades no longer has an interest in this. He learned his lesson, and he also owes you his life. He joined them because he was threatened by his brothers and Nyx. He's in a really bad position," Aphrodite said as she looked at Mykel.

"He will turn himself in once we capture him, that's the plan, but the problem is that he's being held in the Tartarus Tower just like back then," Hera explained.

"There's no need to waste our time. Let's deal with Nyx head on, I will take care of her on my own while the rest of you deal with Zeus and Poseidon. It should be easier to fight him since you two possess the lightning bolt and the trident," Mykel looked at Ares and Athena since they both were the ones who possessed those weapons.

"In her territory, I don't think it would be that easy knowing she can manipulate the whole world. She could send us away from her world if she have to. We need to fight her outside her world," Athena said.

"Her power isn't limited by the world. As long as the night comes, she's as powerful as can be," Gaia said.

"Yes, she's almost similar to that Goddess. Her power is limitless, that's why I chose her in the first place," Lucifer nodded his head in agreement. "But, Mykel has become the Judgement Arcana, and all the Major Arcana has no power against him except the World Arcana," Lucifer continued.

Nobody knew what kind of power the Judgement Arcana possessed, only Lucifer knew about it. Mykel told them about the power that he got from it, and some of them knew what it was since they had experienced it before multiple times.

"When are we going to take them down?" Ares asked.

"She's already considering becoming her ally, but she's not that desperate and knew the consequences. We can go now if all of you are ready for it. I can try to persuade her," Mykel said as he looked at Nyx's [Character] story. "Even with the power that Lucifer mentioned, there's a more efficient way to deal with her," Mykel smiled as he leaned on the chair.

"Do you know how to persuade her?" Gaia asked as she sat down.

"It shouldn't be that hard knowing the love of her life is still alive," Mykel looked at Lucifer, and then everyone looked at Lucifer and remembered that she did have affection toward him. "She was furious because she thought Lucifer is dead, and she's considering joining hands with that Goddess because she believes that Goddess can bring him back to life," Mykel explained.

"That simple?" Skadi asked and she was unconvinced about the answer.

"It's not that simple. Affection is complicated," Hera answered as she looked at Mykel. "If I were her, and knew that the man I love is still alive, I would do anything to meet him again," Hera continued.

In the original story, after Lucifer was killed by Asmond, Nyx decided to go down to Earth and destroy half of it. She was furious because Asmond could kill Lucifer who was a God. A mortal couldn't touch a God no matter how powerful they were until she realized that Asmond was given the [Semi-Deus] skill by Mara.

She tried so hard to hunt Asmond, but before she could kill him, Mara brought her to her world. That was the last time Nyx was seen in the original story, and she wasn't mentioned anymore until the end.

"You should go now before it's too late," Loki said with his eyes barely open. "I wanted to join you, but knowing my current condition, I can't," Loki continued.

"As I said, Nyx is my problem, the rest of you will be dealing with Zeus and Poseidon. Are you guys ready?" Mykel asked as he looked at all of them. They all nodded in agreement. "Go get your things and meet up here again," Mykel continued as he poured a cup of wine.

Everyone left, and the only ones who stayed were Gaia, Hera, and Loki. Mykel then approached Lyneth and sat next to her. He wanted to check how big the baby had become by gently rubbing his hand on her belly.

"How are you feeling?" Mykel asked.

"I'm feeling much better, thanks to you, and that altar you created for me, I love it," Lyneth answered as she rested her head and back on Mykel's body.

Loki, Hera, and Gaia looked at the two of them with a smile on their faces. Suddenly Spenta hopped on the table and stood right in front of Lyneth. He looked at Lyneth's belly and immediately hopped away hurriedly.

"Angra made the same reaction as well. I don't know why these two are curious but scared at the same time with Lyneth," Mykel said as he watched Spenta fly into Gaia's arms.

"I think they're not curious or afraid of Lyneth. They both are wary of the baby inside her belly," Gaia said as she pointed at Lyneth's belly. "Also, I remember you said Spenta is a holy spirit and Angra is an evil spirit, right?" Gaia asked.

"Yes, they are," Mykel answered.

Gaia, Loki, Hera, and Lucifer were staring at Lyneth's belly. They all were thinking about something, and then Gaia suddenly hummed with understanding as she rested her head on her fist.

"I think we all have the same answer about the reason why Angra and Spenta are so wary of the baby," Gaia said as she looked at Mykel. "Do you understand what that means, Mykel? Why an evil spirit and a holy spirit be so wary of that baby?" Gaia asked as she kept looking Mykel in the eyes.

"A being that's feared even by evil and holy spirits, someone who's powerful enough to reign over both sides," Mykel answered as he stared at Lyneth.

"Yes, isn't she just like you, Mykel? A being that powerful enough to step over the Gods and demons," Hera asked with a smile on her face. "After all, she's your daughter, and the power you possess is still getting passed down to her. I don't know how powerful she becomes when she comes out to this world, but one thing for sure, she's going to be powerful enough to stand side by side with you," Hera explained, and she showed a bit of fear and curiosity on her face.

Mykel scoffed as the other Gods came out of the portals behind him.

"There are a lot of interesting things that are still a mystery," Mykel said as he stood up. "But, we have a lot of time to reveal them one by one. So, let's just focus on what's in front of us right now," Mykel continued as he watched Hera and Lucifer stand up.

"The last piece of the thorn in our path, let's remove them," Mykel said with a smile on his face and warped everyone except Gaia, Loki, and Lyneth.
